Police release list of knives and weapons illegal to have in home from December
17.08.2022 - 07:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Police Scotland has released a list of weapons it will no longer be legal to own in your home from December - and you could be paid for surrendering them to officers.
The list, issued under the Surrender and Compensation Scheme for knives and bladed weapons, has been published ahead of the Scottish Government banning ownership of 21 weapons, including butterfly knives and knuckledusters, from December 1.
While it was already a criminal offence to have these weapons in public, keeping them in the home will also soon be considered a criminal offence.
Members of the public are being urged to hand any weapons in to a listed police station before September 30 in exchange for compensation. Any weapons handed in after this date will be confiscated and owners may not be entitled to compensation.
Police have also issued guidance on what documents are required to claim compensation - such as proof of ownership and photo ID - and the scheme further states that anyone surrendering a weapon must fill out a claim form which can be downloaded from the scheme's website before attending a station. The value of the weapon or combined value of weapons must also be £30 or more before compensation can be claimed.
A full list of weapons covered by the scheme and the cost for surrendering each weapon is listed below.
Balisong or butterfly knife - £9
A blade enclosed by its handle. The handle splits down the middle, without the operation of a spring or other mechanical means, to show the blade.
Belt buckle knife - £5
A buckle which incorporates or conceals a knife.
Blowpipe or blow gun - £14
A hollow tube which shoots hard pellets or darts using your breath.
Cyclone knife or spiral knife - £30
A weapon with a handle and a blade with 2 or more cutting
